Let’s hope he gets rewarded by the Queen before some of the dick heads who often get the medals. If you wanted to put a couple of bets on to get some house repair cash, yesterday wasn’t quite the day to do it. Newbury's meeting was cancelled, and Nottingham was called off part way through the afternoon, hitting a few “ stop at a winner “ bettors. With the tracks mostly classed as soft or heavy, then Laybettors should not have been gambling, and therefore would have missed getting caught by the three odds-on favourites all winning at 4/6, 4/7 and 4/9. If you did Laybet, and lost, at least the liabilities were low.
